Application ined June 26,

To al? whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, @Eoin A. HEAD, a. subject of the King of England9end s resident of Royal Oak, inthe county of Oakland and State otMichigan, have invented a new and useful Electric Radiator, of 'whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to electric radiators and has as its principalobject improvements in a structure set 'forth in myico-pendingapplication for electric radiators, tiled Fehruary 25, 1922,Serial No. 539204.

The invention 'further provides en electric radiator wherein the house'Wiring system will not he subjected to a heavyload upon starting of theheating element.

Another important object of my invention is to provide an electricradiator wherein the water supply will 'oe totally evaporated andleaving the electrodes clean when not in uses Still another object ofthe invention is to provide ineens 'or trapping all foreign inatter suchas rust, mud, etc., thereby insuring operation of the device at alltimes and preventing corrosion of the electrodes,

With the preceding and other objects end advantages in mind, theinvention consists in the novel combination of elements, constructionand arrangement ot parte und operations to he hereinafter enlarged uponaclaimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view of my improved electric radiator having arts shown inelevation and parts in verticalpcross section; end,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the electric heatino element'.

teferring in detail to the drawings wherein like characters of referencedesignete like parts throughout the several views, the numerel 5designates a steam generating chemher with which L shaped radiatingtubes 6 communicate at diamertically opposite points and at the upperend thereo. Extending laterally Afrom the opposite end ot the chemher 5and at diametrically opposite points are head tube sections 7 whichhavepcommunicetion with the tuhe o hy wey of T couplings 8 the latterraising supporting legs 9 having hase elements or feet i0. Detachelolysecured to the lower end of the generatirwr chamber 5 is a cup orreceptacle 11 ormedpwith nonconducting material hav--s 3,322. SeriellNo. 576,7'194'.

ing an annuler flange l2 which is secured to 'the generator cheminer 5hy bolts 13,' the 'flange l2 and generator chamber 5 heilig spaced by nnonconducting ring 14. A'rranged in the cup or receptacle il is asuhstentially cone shaped electrode l5 disposed centrally within the cup-or receptacle 11 suspended from the side 'Walls thereof. A binding posti6 extends through vthe bottom of the receptacle or cup 1i and isengaged with 'the electrodes l5, the binding post 16 losing electricallyconnected `with one terininal i? of an electricity conductor i8 which islsdepted to he arranged in the house or secured with any other desirablesource of electrical energy. Encircling the electrode l5 and positionedagainst the side walls of the cupor receptacle 'ila is an annularelectrede 19 which is engeged by a binding post 2t) passing through thecup or receptacle 11 end is connected with 'the other 'terminal 21 ofthe conductor 1&3. in order 'to ohviate a continuous body of water from"forming in the bottom of the receptacle or cup il due to thecondensstion of the steam, bottom of thel cup or receptacle ii is4iornned with circumferential teeth or gutters 22 et n point loe-*tweenthe electrodes lo and i9, As the steam condenses, 'the letter possesdown the sides of the electrode 15 snd'enters the gutters or spacesbetween the teeth 22.

Communicating 'with the tubes 7 is a water gloss 23 having a drain 2liand lead ing from the drain 24de o, valve controlled pipe 25 which leadsinto the cup or receptocle 11 und its outlet disposed over the highestpoint of 'the electrode i5. The water gloss 23 is provided with efilling openirni`= 26 into which the water is poured to till thereceptacle or cup 11.

in the operation of my invention of an improved heater, it 'will heobvious that se the weiter passes trom the writer glass 23 hy wey of'the pipe 25 and `flows into the spaced point ont electrodes l5 end 20the electric circuit will evaporate the water. As 'the water isevaporated it is circulated through the generator chnmher and tubes. Ascondensation is formed, it posses into the gutters over the teeth 22'and completes e circuit through the electrodes to evaporete these smallhodies oi" water. With this type of heating element, it will he seenthat 'the starting of the operation of the seme will be gradual. andwill not subject tbe line to a great load and the consequent blowing.

of the fuse elements in theA circuit.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention, herein shown anddescribed, is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and thatvarious changes ,1n the shape, size and arrangement of parts may beresorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention orf-thesccpe of the in the receptacle after'the main body of water has beenevaporated.

2. An electric radiator comprising a generating chamber, radiating tubescommunieating with the generating chamber, supporting le s engaged withthe lower ends of the ra iating tube, a Water glass communicating withone of the radiator tubes and having a ullopening and a tube leadingfrom the Water glass into the generator chamber and a beating elementarranged at the iower end of the generator chamber.

3. combination with a radiator, of a beating element including a iiquidreceiving cup communicating with the radiator, a central substantiallyconical electrode arranged in the cup, an annular electrode encirclingthe conical electrode and both bein j adapted to be electricallyconnected by a bawdy cf Water contained in the receptacle, the bottonief the receptacle being pre-vided with glitters te receive ccndensation.
